To all whom it In concern lie it known that .l. Enwann W. .lrzxonin'. a citizen of thellnited States. and a residentof the city of Newport. in the county of Campbell and State of Kentucky, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in VVindow-Screens. of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description,

rawings. forming part The object of my invention is to provide metal frames for window screens which shall be strong and durable and readily and easily put together for any desired size of screen. and in which the frame molding shall be so constructed and arranged that the screen can be readily'an'd easily rewired in of this specification.

outer head portion (5 to form a molding is applied on ,,.body of the molding when secured in place.

but readily removed when desired.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a plan view of one corner of my improved screen. Fig. 2 is a similar plan View with the corner plate removed and a portion of one of the remov able molding plates broken away. Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the method of securing the molding. Fig. 4 is a perspective cross section of the moldin'g'fraine when locked imposition. Fig. 5 is a plan view of one of the corner plates opened out.

The main frame for holding the wire mesh for the screen is constructed of a substantial rod of wire 1. which. is cut of the proper length, bent atthe corners to form a .rec tangular frame of proper and desired size.

' with the ends of the rod secured together in two parts, a main bodyportion 1t and a removable plate 5. The body of the molding is preferably formed with acylindrical proper finish and give strength to the molding. and with asemi-circular portion 7 to embrace one side of the main frame and with a flange 8 to finish the construction .for one side. The removable plate 5 is formed with a semi-cylindrical portion 9 to embrace the other hall' of the frame. and with a tongue 10 along the inner side to engage and look under the side edge 11 of the'body of the molding. This molding is previously formed and bent as illustrated. and the main frame, having been wired as above described, the

one side,'a'n'd the removable plate interlocked for the other side. and the two partsfirnily drawn and secured together by the rivets or screws 12. For the corners. the ends of the molding are mitered as shown at '13. but it is not. essential that these mitered ends should come toget'her, and the lengths of the molding do not have to be :iccuratclv cut. The corners are protected and'covered by the corner plates 14. These corner plates are formed as shown in Fig. 5. properly curved and bent to fit over the molding. and providedwith ears 15. 15. which. when the corner plate is bent down.

overlap. and the corner plates are securedby the single screw or rivet 16. to pass apping openings 17. 17. in the sides of the corner plates. In this way. the frame for the window screen can be readily and easily puttogether..

Should it be desired to renew the wire mesh, by removing the corner screw or through the overl rivet 1t) and opening out the corner plates and removing the screws or rivets 12 and slippingout the removable plate 5. the main rod frame will be entirely released, and new wire mesh can be stretched thereover and the molding easily and readily replaced and secured by the rivets or screws.

Having thus described my invent-ion, what- I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent. is:

'1. In a window screen, the combination. with a wire rod main frame and wire mesh looped around the rod to secure the mesh to the frame, of a molding frame formed in a plurality of se arable longitudinal sections. with the si e edge of one section interlocked under the. side edge of the'other.

section, and securing devices to secure the opposite edge of the interlocked section in position on the main frame 2. In a window screen, the combination.

with a wire rod main frame and Wire mesh looped around the rod to secure the mesh to A the frame, of amolding frame formed ine plurality of separable longitudinal sections, with the side edge of one section interlocked under the side edge of the other section to embrace the main frame, and securing devices to secure the opposite edge of the interlocked section in position on the main t'rznne,

ing a body portion formed with a cylindrical outer bead and an inner semi-cylindrical portion with the semrcyhndrlcal portion embracing one slde of the mem frame. and

remomble side plate having its side edge interlocked under the side edge of the cylindricol heed to complete the molding frame, with securing devices to secure the side plate to the m "11 frame- 4-. In a window screen, the combination, with a Wire rod main t'rzune and Wire mesh looped around the rod to secure the mesh to the frame of a. molding frame comprising;' a body portion formed with n cylindrr 0:11 outer head and an inner semi-cylindrical portion with the seniirylindricnl port-ion embracing one side of the main frame, and n ren'mvnl'ile side plate having its side edge interlocked tinder the side edge of the cv 'lindriczil head to complete the molding frame, with securing" devices to secure the side plate to the main frame, and corner plates with overlapping port-ions to cover the corners, and a seci 1g device to secure same in position on the'main frame.
